The obverse of the 2026 1/10 oz Gold Lunar Horse Coin shows the first official portrait of King Charles III on Australian coins. This left-facing effigy was created by Dan Thorne and does not include a crown.

On the reverse side of the 2026 Gold Lunar Horse, you’ll see a strong horse rearing on its hind legs. The animal is set against a grassy, mountainous backdrop and appears with both front hooves raised, its mane flowing.

Each Chinese Zodiac animal is further influenced by one of five elements. Those born under the Wood Horse are seen as imaginative and team-oriented. Earth Horses are practical and dependable, while Metal Horses tend to be bold and self-reliant. Water Horses are flexible and good communicators, and Fire Horses, like the one honored in 2026, are known for their distinctive qualities.

These 2026 1/10 oz Australian Gold Lunar Horse Coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each coin is housed in a plastic capsule, and rolls of 20 are available sealed together. The Perth Mint does not limit the mintage of this coin.
